Michael_D_Henry Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Just a stock AR10 (T) with 20" barrel and Luth Stock
HansRey Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Welcome, I feel Like I just saw a similar rifle like that for sale In FoCo... Nice Setup!
Michael_D_Henry Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Posted December 3, 2014 I would like to shave some weight off the end of it. Not any barrel options I can see but a 16" carbine. Any suggestions?
Robocop1051 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Have your current barrel cut and recontoured, maybe just fluted
Michael_D_Henry Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the welcomes. Who would be a gunsmith that would specialize in this and about much scratch would I be looking at to have it done?
Michael_D_Henry Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the advise, ar15barrels.com looks like the place to go.
Robocop1051 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 The guy at ar15barrels.com can be difficult to reach. Barrels are a side job, and his 9 to 5 job takes priority. If you don't hear from him soon, or you want faster service, www.adcofirearms.com has a full service shop.
Michael_D_Henry Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Posted December 4, 2014 randall@ar15barrels.com has already gotten back to me. Right after the first of the year, I'm sending my upper to him to cut off two inches and turn down the barrel to .75" diameter and thread the end of it.
Robocop1051 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Randall is an artist. I look forward to hearing/seeing the results
Robocop1051 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Don't forget to send him a new .750 gas block as well. A lightweight, low-profile, gas block will take a few extra ounces away from where they're noticed the most.
FaRKle! Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the welcomes. Who would be a gunsmith that would specialize in this and about much scratch would I be looking at to have it done?If Randall gets too busy I HIGHLY recommend Marvin Pitts (Nefarious Arms). He's one of the few real SR-25 armorers and is the go to guy for ball milling/dimpling.I had him cut down an 18" MWS barrel to 16", dimple, and cerakote my MWS barrel. My work was about $300.
Rsquared Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 Good looking 10T A model there Michael. Welcome aboard. Sure hope your bank account is ready for all of this. <laughs>
98Z5V Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 ^^^ I hope YOUR bank account is ready for all this, once you see his barrel work, man!!! <lmao> You'll be sending $hit out left and right... :hethan:
Michael_D_Henry Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks for the welcomes.... My son wants me to build him a .308 too. Yep, I can see the Ben Franklins flying already. Just got through building my AR15 a short time ago. It turned out very nice, but deinitely wasn't cheap. Oh well, it's just money, right?
2336 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Another welcome from Georgia. If Randall or Marvin are too busy you might want to contact John Thomas at Retro Arms Works. He's very reasonable and his turnaround is excellent. He's the one that turned down the barrel on my current project. Took it from .750 to .625 and mounted the A2 FSB.
